Brock Heger Wins UTV Overall And UTV Open
BY LARRY SAAVEDRA
o
n paper, it may be the shortest UTV race in the SCORE World Desert
Championship series, but the brutal course layout at the King Shocks 38th
SCORE San Felipe 250 pushed the limits of even veteran racers like Brock
Heger.
As it turned out, Heger was the eventual 2025 UTV Overall Champion and
Pro UTV Open Class winner at this race, but he said he had his doubts about surviving
this year's extremely technical course. With only a few miles to go to the finish, Heger, in
the No. 1896 SCI Motorsports Polaris RZR Pro R, suddenly found himself in limp mode,
straining to crawl the last few miles, no faster than five miles per hour. "Nearing the San
Felipe finish line while in the sand, something went wrong," he said. "It freaked me out.
The engine overheated."
